Cardinals Not Willing To Make Financial Commitment To Oliver Perez?

Cardinals: They lack a left-handed starter, and earlier this offseason they pondered adding a young pitcher with upside — someone like Perez or their own Kyle Lohse.

The Cardinals, however, are encouraged by the progress of Chris Carpenter, and comfortable with Lohse, Adam Wainwright, Todd Wellemeyer and Joel Pineiro as their other starters.

St. Louis still might trade an outfielder, but even then they probably would not be willing or able to make the necessary financial commitment to Perez.
